Plot summary
It was a very cold day, in the middle of winter, when Zack and Cody get discovered by talent scouts, the Tipton staff goes to Hollywood to watch a pilot of a TV show, that is a lot like the real show. It was called "How Suite It Is". Maddie was supposed to go to Minnesota to go ice fishing with her family, but then her plans got changed for her to go to Hollywood with the rest of them. They all went there in London's private jet. They stayed at the Tipton in Los Angeles, and they met the cast of the show: Zack and Cody were being played by two little boys, Carey was being played by a young lady, Maddie was being played by a pretty girl who pretended to like her, London was played by a boy, and Moseby was being played by a tall man who talks with street slang. The crew thought that the twins playing Zack and Cody were too young, so they let the real Zack and Cody play themselves. At first they were very excited about it, but eventually Cody got nervous because so many people were watching and forgot his lines. Maddie, London, and Moseby kept on telling their actors how to act, so they kicked them out. One of the crew people asked the audience if there were any talented people there, and The Veronicas were in the audience. After they performed they liked them because they can sing, they were cute, they were twins, and they were from Australia (they are annoyed when asked if they're English). Zack and Cody were fired from the show, and The Veronicas were hired.
Meanwhile, Maddie and London both had a crush on a movie star. The only way they could meet him was if they snuck onto the set of an old-western film, so they put on costumes. One of the crew members thought they were the stunt doubles. But they heard that after they do the stunts, they would get kissed by Johnny. First, they had to jump off the roof of the saloon, and land on a mat. Next they had to keep on fighting and land into a tub of dirty water, then cover themselves in mud. Then after that, the actor would go kiss the both of them. Just then, when they were about to kiss the actor, the director yelled "cut!" and then he called in the real actresses to do the kiss. It turned out they did all of those dangerous and dirty stunts for no reason.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody episode was among the top five shows for viewers ages 6 – 11 as of April 27, 2007.
"The Hub" called The Suite Life Goes Hollywood "Today's Might-See." They felt that some parts are overacted, but that the Maddie and London subplot is good.
The New York Daily News described The Suite Life Goes Hollywood as "innocent," and as "a two-part adventure."
